Hey. I've got 3 problems that I'd thought I'd ask about. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Problem A:
When i hit the button to pull in my mirrors, both fold up fine and perfect. When i hit the button to fold out again the drivers side doesn't budge at all. Have to force it to fold back down (which i know can't be a good thing to do). Any thoughts or suggestions on this?? Obviously somethings effed in my "educated" opinion.

Problem B:
Occasionally when I get close to a full lock when turning/parking/whatever my engines stalls. Really weird and no it's not me stalling the car. I'm thinking the p/s pump could be on it's way out or needs a good flush but still have no idea why it'd be making my car stall.


Problem C:
Thought I'd just throw this one out there but when I'm in any gear, mainly 1st, 2nd & 3rd and am in the low rev range (between 1-3.5) there's a grinding scratchy noise. Recently I've noticed my clutch starting to go but it's made this noise before this. I'm thinking that maybe flywheel might need machining or its stuffed all together. Hoping it's nothing worse than that!! I read a post from a while back with something kinda similar. Problem in that case was the gearbox assembly. My box feels nice and it only makes this noise when the clutch is out so I'm not so sure if this could be it.

So there's my problems. Thanks for listening

problem A is the same thing that i've got....so i just havent bothered closing the side mirror ever since the first time i had to force it back to the open position.

Haha, yeah I'm leaning towards not giving a sh*t and leaving it for now, altho it sucks knowing something doesn't work. If i resolve this I'll let you know what the problem was

Any takers on these problems at all??????????

Problem A:

Buy a new mirror & fit anywhere between $80-125
OR
Follow this guide to fix the prob (Don't use superglue );

Problem B:
I have no idea why it would be doing this.. you'll probably have to take it to a mechanic / auto electrician..

Problem C:
No idea, sorry .. where does the noise seem to be coming from? Does it go away after you've been driving for a while?

Cheers for the help and I'll be sure to stay away from the super glue. Yeah the noise is always there when the revs are low i.e below the 3k mark. Doesn't really go away at all. Hopefully it's nothing too expensive

just had a go with my mirrors.. why would you not use superglue? i cant think of anything else that would bond the little metal thing..

Use a Hot Glue gun .. superglue doesn't come off if you misalign the little metal thing

yeah but it would be so hard since a hot glue gun makes big drops. plus one of the post things were still there to hold the metal thing in place then i just superglued it...

but with all that effort, i failed anyway, i doublechecked that the metal things were contacting with the circuit but now my passenger mirror only folds in, and the driver side only folds out... sucks!
